Editing photos and watching Green Bay. At least the photos aren't disappointing!

Elf on the Shelf
Santa with a side of bacon
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
My parents have made a tradition out of going to Macy's annual Breakfast with Santa event during the Christmas season. It has been seven years since our first time and our fourth visit with Santa in Minnesota at Ridgedale Mall. Looking back at photos from past years makes me realize how much time has passed since Benjamin was a tiny little guy who was shy with Santa. Lucy is the same age as he was when we started this tradition. She didn't want to sit on his lap, but definitely didn't pass up the chance to tell him that she'd like Barbies for Christmas this year! Smart girl.
This year's Santa was a bit on the sassy side and didn't miss an opportunity to mug for my camera.
Silly Santa! #macys #breakfastwithsanta #christmas #rochmn #photographer #momarazzi #rochesterminnesota

Christmas Preparations
Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Lucy stayed home with me yesterday because her daycare provider's daughter was sick. We decided to bake some "yummy yummy cookies" - as Lucy calls them. At three years old, she's quite interested in helping with everything, so I let her do whatever she could handle. The cookies aren't bakery-pretty, but they taste great and that's what really matters anyway.
Benjamin's egg allergy always has me hunting down new recipes for baked-goods. I've used this one for our Christmas cut-outs for the past two years and I highly recommend it!
Eggless Cut-out Sugar Cookies
http://debralegg.com/2008/06/08/christmas-cookies-galore/
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 c (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Beat cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Cover. Refrigerate 30 min. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into assorted shapes, using 3-inch cookie cutters. Place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until edges begin to brown. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely.
I have a pinterest board dedicated to my favorite eggless recipes:
